Steve Linthicum did they hire your replacement already?

You should go look at cyber.org and sign up and use some of their material. They are not doing an A+ class right now but they have a lot of labs and information you can take included a free cyberrange for teachers.

IN person or remote?

I have a student that was set to take the A+ exam. HE could not login at 8:30 AM on that day. I spent 30 mins on the phone we were told to turn in a ticket. We did and now they say it was just a no show test. Who can I get ahold of to fix this?

I have a question, I have a student who bought CertMaster Learn and Labs, I don't use them in class but the student wanted to have them to study on their own for a test. However, the student failed and wants to reset CertMaster Learn and Labs to start studying over again. Is there any way to...

I teach the ITF+ and Front Load it with A+ information. Expending out sections to make my teaching of the A+ faster. I have also assigned students the free ITProTV course to supplement my lectures. Also, if you are a K-12 teacher, you can sign up for the Cyber.org curriculum for free.

Jarrell, I find it interesting that you OnVue testing accommodations for a person, as they claim the don't grant them. This is the problem, they should be applied universally. "We simply try to work with the system to find a solution that is win-win to both parties." Remember that the law...

While I teach CompTIA ITF+ and am on a CompTIA forum right now. If you want some free starter content. Right now (ISC)2 is giving away 1 million free certifications this year. https://www.isc2.org/1mcc 10-hour free online class, free certification, I would have them buy the book and spend...

Congrats! Start studying for the new test that comes out in a few months? Or ask to sit on the test creation board. Or start moving in the CISSP journey.

So Rick, Just an FYI I am an attorney (in addition to teaching and cybersecurity tech guy) and do practice in the disability law space. I am working with the Pearson Legal team and have been for three years. The problem is here is what they say in accommodations letters. It seems to always be...

I am looking to find out how many people have students or themselves have problems with Pearson Vue and Accommodations issues. I am getting ready to draft a demand to PearonVue on this matter. It seems to me that Pearson is violating the ADA on several levels. PersonVue refuses to allow...

From what he stated, it appears to be a session hijack. Seems like this falls on the security and programming team a Google. Why would allow the deletion of so many videos without doing MFA or even re-entering passwords?

I know that ICS2 and CompTIA are competitors in the certification space. However as a teacher in the high schools space I am always looking for low cost and free resources to help my students start in the field. I have come across the (ICS)2 One million certified in Cyber promotion they are...

Are they doing ITF+ this year, also?

It is my opinion, that you should start them off with the CompTIA ITF. The main reason for this is that there is a lot of new terms and vocabulary that they have never seen. They also have no experience taking an industry certification. The CompTIA ITF can be administered in the classroom and...

I passed also but was not happy with my score. I should have done better.

Rick "I can't accept that it's CompTIA's responsibility to solve a problem that a school district refuses to address. " No it is CompTIA like everyone else wants more money. So instead of selling books, they want more money so they push e-books and want to charge 3 to 4 times more. While the...

Rick, I am sorry but the issue is with CompTIA. Because the pushback I get when I ask for funding is why not use free material like NetAcad, AWS, etc. I have to go and justify the cost. Which I have always been able to do when I can buy a book for $50 to $100 and I can get several years of...

Rick, IT is marketing and it is a tax write-off even for a non-profit. The cost to provide an additional ebook is nothing. To make copies cost nothing. By starting marketing to middle and high school students you lock in life long customers. However, I am not even advocating for free. I...

Stuart, Most people don't care about tracking as we all have LMS systems that we use. Also I am only talking about a license to the ebook not the other product. The cost of those is so high to put them out of reach for most K-12 and even some Community Colleges. Most schools still require...
